Period between signing and closing

by a searcher from University of Applied Sciences

Mar 22,2023

I am currently in LOI negotations and wanted to get some advice or experience what could be a reasonable timeframe between signing and closing for a share deal to agree on in the LOI to set realistic expectations. Target and acquirer are German companies. Deal size about €1.5m, straight forward deal structure: equity + co-investors + bank loan. Thanks for your feedback!

60-90 days between LOI and Closing would be customary.
